FIBRE announces the 1st Open Call for experiments. We are targeting new experiments (or pilot use cases) to use FIBRE testbed federation.

In the 1st call, up to 3 experiment proposals will be selected to be accomplished in a maximum of 6 months. For each selected proposal, FIBRE will offer a R$ 800,00 contract per month plus a tutor will be allocate to offer a customized support to speedup the experiment deployment. The preliminary result shall be presented in a workshop at the CSBC 2017 (Brazilian Computer Society Congress). Travel expenses will also be covered by FIBRE.
